Just ordered a Jamis Commuter 2 - should arrive by end of the week. Am a recent lung cancer survivor, looking for a way to get some exercise while seeing more of our extensive Metro Park system. Have not owned or ridden a bicycle since freshman year in college (it was stolen during my first semester). Because am still in surgical recovery mode I robably won't be able to do much riding until spring, but I'll certainly give the new bike a spin at least once a week until the snow/ice slows me down.

Welcome to Bike Forums, Nancy. Congratulations on getting your health back. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. You also might want to check out the Fifty Plus forum and Great Lakes regional forum.

There is also a Women's forum you are eligible to gain access to after posting for a month. Send a PM to Siu Blue Wind (administrator) to get access.

Welcome to BF, Nancy. I am in the area but not in the 50+ group yet - close enough though! There are lots of riders in central Ohio. Be sure to check out Consider Biking, a local advocacy group that is doing great things for us central Ohio cyclists.
